Synapxe, the national HealthTech agency has collaborated with the Centre of Regulatory Excellence - Standards Development Organisation (CoRE-SDO) and Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), through the Singapore Standards Council (SSC) to launch two new Singapore Standards: SS719:2025 Guidelines on Data Standard (Terminology) to Support Interoperability of Healthcare System Records and SS720:2025 Remote Clinical Monitoring. This was announced today at Synapxe’s annual HealthX Startup Day.
Enhancing Public Healthcare Interoperability and Remote Monitoring
The two new SS standards will help accelerate the growth of HealthTech startups:
- SS719:2025 Guidelines on Data Standard (Terminology) to Support Interoperability of Healthcare System Records will provide guidance on how clinical information should be structured and exchanged across different healthcare systems.
- SS720:2025 Remote Clinical Monitoring will support the integration of data for remote clinical monitoring solutions.
Through these, HealthTech startups and healthcare providers will be better equipped to manage and transmit health information, and pave the way for a more connected, secure and efficient healthcare ecosystem. This aligns with the national “Healthier SG” strategy and reinforces trust in digital health systems among providers and patients. More information on the standards can be found in Annex A.
The new standards will be available to projects in Synapxe’s HealthX Innovation Sandbox (HX-IS) 2.0, where HealthTech startups and innovators will be able to incorporate these standards in a close-to-real-world setting. The sandbox, enabled with these standards, offers a simulated environment to test the integration of medical devices and digital health solutions with electronic medical records.
By applying the standards which will enhance system interoperability and data quality upfront, innovators can reduce integration complexity and costs in the later phases of the product development cycle.
“Alongside the proliferation of new technologies and digital health solutions, it is crucial that we establish clear guidelines that help healthcare providers build interoperability and trust in their solutions. Without such standards, we risk creating data silos and disrupting the quality of patient care across different healthcare systems. By implementing these new standards, we can ensure that our digital health infrastructure remains robust and continues to support innovative solutions that address emerging healthcare needs.” said Ms Choy Sauw Kook, Director-General (Quality and Excellence) at Enterprise Singapore.
“Singapore has always actively pushed for interoperability in healthcare to support continuity of care for our population and allow public healthcare providers to make informed clinical decisions. The launch of these two new standards to be incorporated in our HealthX Innovation Sandbox 2.0 underscores our commitment to support the public healthcare ecosystem and provide the necessary resources for our startups and innovators in the HealthTech ecosystem to build their solutions faster in an interoperable manner,” said Henry Kang, Director of Innovation and Capabilities Enablement (ICE), Synapxe.
Emerging HealthTech Solutions to Address Real-World Healthcare Challenges
At the HealthX Startup Day, nine tech providers were selected to present their ideas to a panel of public healthcare professionals based on the innovation themes from an Open Call for Ideas launched in September 2025. The Open Call had invited startups from Singapore and around the world to pitch solutions based on three themes provided by Public Healthcare Providers:
- Optimising Surgical Instruments for Safer, More Efficient Surgeries
- Reimagining Staff Scheduling and Leave Coordination
- Smarter Ways to Triage Patients
Solutions pitched for these innovation themes may be considered for development into future HealthX Call-for-Innovation opportunities that seek to create impact and benefit for healthcare providers and patients.
